Lifehacker reader Pluginbby is a huge Muse fan and modelled this week’s featured desktop off the art for one of his favourite albums, The Origin of Symmetry. Now, every time he sits down to work, he has useful data on the left, a reminder of his favourite tunes on the right and plenty of room to work.

Well-placed Rainmeter skins, a great wallpaper and some fresh taskbar icons, make Lifehacker reader AGAM720′s handiwork our featured desktop this week. Just look at the final product in action — it all just works well together.

This week’s featured desktop, from Lifehacker reader Silver_January, is similar to last week’s sleepy fox desktop. However, it offers different on-screen information, most notably stronger shortcuts to apps and folders, and more useful weather data in the centre. The wallpaper is sharp looking too.

A combination of well placed widgets, sharp use of Objectdock, text shortcuts and an adorable wallpaper make this week’s featured desktop worth duplicating. Reader M. Adams built this two-toned setup with no icons on the desktop and an auto-hidden taskbar to keep organised, and created a desktop that was a joy to look at even when he wasn’t using the system.

Lifehacker reader Sony Samuel Somar’s desktop makes use of good-looking Rainmeter skins for a clean and functional desktop. The fact that the desktop is so minimal is what makes it work so well.

Lifehacker reader exogenesis’s desktop isn’t specifically designed for work. It serves as a quick launcher for commonly used applications and gives him access to system monitors at a glance.
